Reilly versus Ramrod

Having come through the busy winter period, two men have emerged at the top of the GKL table. In the green corner - grizzled, fantasy sports veteran Martin Reilly. In the blue corner - fresh-faced challenger Rich Godden. With just five points between them, it is a hell of a tussle.

Further back sit former leaders Mutu's Avengers and the Hull City of the Grappa Kings set-up The Bootiful Game. A concerted run by another Reilly, Brian, who clearly grudges losing the family bet to his brother, has put him up to fifth.

Other performances of note have come from young Lachlan Eggo who has outdone Scolari and hit a fine run of form of late to sneak into the top ten. That is also the stated target of Colin "Salty Loch" Colthart - everybody loves a trier.

In the midtable rump, Carlo Rinaldi broke through the 1000 point barrier while Serafino Ingardia continues to slide. A titanic struggle has also emerged between two sporting heavyweights (in every sense) Kenny Eggo and Doug Archibald along with a positive flyweight in comparison - Willie Johnston.

A word of ridicule for Ethan Colthart who constantly taunts teams higher up the table with cries of "Loser!". His early season form has been shown up as sheer good fortune. A year in the Grappa Kings Championship beckons.

Finally, a word of praise for Elia Davidson who has leapfrogged Siofra Eggo in the battle for Female Manager of the Year. Keep going steady Grappa Kids and you might sneak into the top 20...
